argh i feel shitty today. played 700 hands, won some pots then stopped haha. post this hand from yesterday. dude had nitty stats so i didnt think he had many suited card type hands in his range... so wen he bet the river i didnt think hed do it like that with a set. so i thought he was bluffing... played the hand weird/bad but got lucky with my call cause it turns out he did indeed have a suited conector just the wrong suit. yay for misread call!
oh and bet more on flop next time chris!

Day 2
grind grind grind. OK hasnt gotten off to the greatest start in terms of hands played but im winning well. first day played 50NL rush, 4 tables... won 5 buyins went well. Today 100NL rush 4 tables, 300 bucks up went well also. so manyy holiday fish on its awesome. forrrrrrrr example:
had an epic home game yesterday. things got interesting when it went to 3 handed me luke and marco. couple of big hands...
first of all i had bluffed marco in 3bet/4bet pots like 3 times with Q7 and showed, he had got me a couple times aswell so it was a bit agro. worst one i open cutoff (4handed i guess), and he 3bets button. i 4bet caise its fun and he just calls. we are super deep maybe 500bb. i cbet a low board and he calls, turn is another low card giving me a gutter but i dont think hes folding an overpair so i check, as does he. now i thought he could have had AA KK on the turn but when he checks i really think its JJ to 99 or something. river is a Q woo, check check and i scoop a $100+ pot. marco goes on tilt.
soon after there is exactly the same scenario and i 4bet to $25 with KJo. flop is AJx. i think i can check cause not much worse probly calls this, but decide to play my hand like AK and cbet real small $20 into $50 pot. he goes all in for 100 more ontop. i tank but really felt it waas bluffy, if he had AK y wouldnt he call and let me bluff more given history. pretty much just tanked to phsyc myself up to make the call and i did, he was stone cold bluffing. so yes he called my 4bet with the intension of bluffing haha awesome.
another big one i get KK and as u guess we r in a 4bet pot again out of position, 3 way this time haha. flop is AKx so i cbet $40 and marco tankishly calls. turn is AKxA. the only hand i can see him having is some kind of Ax after he called, so i bet the pot all in hoping to look bluffy but he folded something.
another big hand i have 52s and 3bet marco. flop is AJT with a flush draw for me so i cbet. turn gives me pair and draw so i bet again.... brick the river ATJ27 so i bet $70into about $100 thinking he might think 72 got there, i thought he had an A of some kind and might fold. he has T4s omg! calls..
last big hand, call lukes open with TT, marco makes it $17 so i call super deep obviously still. both have around 600bb. QJx, not a great flop but i call a cbet cause i hav a tell maybe haha. turn is QJx8 he bets again and again i call. bam horrible river QJx8T, i thought he had AK so that got there. he over bets $198 all in and insta flips over a 2! i nearly insta call cause dont see the 4 to a straight haha. tank tank tank i dont think he is sick enough to bluff here. he doesnt show which makes me think he had a 9. lucky boy!
finish up $480. had a $700+ stack at one point but lost a bit getting crazy at the end. fun fun. so many more hands but its just too much to write about haha.

ah its blog time
long time no blog i guess. not much has been happening on the poker front. last month (NOV) was a dud. was kinda sick for a couple weeks at the start so didnt play any hands. since then have been majorly distracted by various things. basically thought if my head wasnt in the game im not playing cause thats when you lose... i think it was a good desicion but thats alot of time lost. have a month holiday coming up after xmas and plan to get right back into it. thankfully the games are probably softer over the holiday season which will help. might go back to 100NL for a bit though. my black card status is nearly run out but should be able to super grind it back i hope. will admit ive lost my poker passion a bit lately but its probly half cause i havent been running great, coupled with the rakeback hit i took which was a super downer. determined to get back on the grind though. start watching some videos again and all that good stuff.
so i think ive been playing for over a year now. was around this time last year me and luke had a bet to make the most in one month which is what got me into the grind mindset. in one year to get to 200NL is a good achievment but if i wasnt so lazy im sure i could have done alot better. got plenty of things to work on my game though so can only improve. all going to plan i make some good cash over the holiday grind and decide to play poker for a living. but i think the chances of that being a sensible idea are low. have so much great stuff planned next year though will see how my mindset is. might try set some good goals soon.
lifetime graph after roughly a year:
200NL graph, bit of a downswing at the end here:
finally here is last 14 months of grind. was playing a fairly steady 40hours a month there for the majority but it really declined lately. hopefully im more motivated next year!
cut it short cause i have to go out but thats the jist of it! totally lost count of my live earnings but its probly about break even over the last 6odd weeks. still loving the home game though. need to start remembering interesting hands again and blogging straight after haha.
